To Specify Measure Points
The following options are available for defining measure points on selected geometry:
Add Pts—Specify the measure points using one of the following options:
User Defined—Pick points on selected geometry where you want to perform the measurements. If you select this option when a set of points has already been defined, the new points will be added to the end of the set.
Automatic—The system will automatically generate a pattern of measure points. (See the help topic on a specific step type for information on how the automatic points will be generated.) If you select this option when a set of points has already been defined, all the existing points will be deleted and a new set generated. The system will prompt you for confirmation to proceed.
Scan—Select chains on the selected geometry. The Scan dialog box appears, which contains options to distribute measure points along the selected chains. If you select this option when a set of points has already been defined using User Defined or Automatic option, all the existing points are deleted and a new set is generated. The system prompts you for confirmation to proceed.
 
* The Scan option is available only when you use a scanning probe.
Insert Pts—Available only when a set of points has already been defined. Allows you to insert points before an existing point. Select a point to insert before, then pick points on selected geometry to perform additional measurements. The probe path will be redrawn with each pick.
Move Pts—Allows you to move existing points. Select a point to move, then pick the new location on selected geometry. The probe path will be immediately redrawn. Proceed moving other points, or choose Done Sel to finish.
Delete Pts—Allows you to delete existing points. Select a point to delete; the probe path will be immediately redrawn. Proceed deleting other points, or choose Done Sel to finish.
